"DEL" is emacs-speak for "backspace" on typical PC keyboards.

Hmm, are you sure? I thought Backspace was _the_ traditional
delete-a-region key on macs and windows -- it certainly is on the mac
anyway (since forever), and I'm pretty sure that's also what I use to
delete stuff when I use a windows system... (since windows derived most
of its basic keybindings from the mac, it would be ery surprising if it
weren't the same)
